Kady O'Malley is live-blogging local Presidential Primary events from Nashua, New Hampshire. It seems to be mostly on-the-go snippets and commentary, some with a peculiarly Canadian tilt:
... 12:34:21 - Female empowerment! Whoo! Overseas and at home. Depressing stats about pay inequity between men and women - which Hillary opposes, in case you wondered.
12:35:54 - And now, Bobby Jr. He looks a little like JFK crossed with - God help me - Warren Kinsella. He is passionate on environmental issues and not at all a fan of the Bush administration's green record. Bobby Jr. calls the rollbacks on environmental policy insidious and Orwellian and - holy crow! - this guy can really speak. Can I vote for him for leader? Oh wait, I'm a journalist. Never mind.
He's now listing off the many incestuous connections that link anti-green industry lobbyists and the current administration.
12:39:47 - In 19 states, it's now unsafe to eat any freshwater fish because of all the pollution in the water, and that's all thanks to Bush. Ick. This is more than just corporate plunder, Kennedy says, it's wholesale corporate takeover of the public policy agenda.
Seriously, why isn't this guy running? Am I forgetting some sordid scandal that rendered him permanently unelectable? ...http://forums.macleans.ca/advansis/?mod=for&act=dis&eid=48&so=&ps=&sb=- B
